GEORGE. They're part of the game--their theories are the basis for an
intelligent practice. And what should we be able to do without their
figures? Look at what we've worked out in large scale production and
distribution in this war! That's a new world problem. Shall we be
pioneers here in Foxon Falls in the new experiment?
RENCH. An experiment in human chemicals, as the doctor would say.
Pioneers! I kind of like that word. You can put me in the wagon,
Captain.
GEORGE. It will be a Conestoga with the curtains rolled up, so that
everybody can see in. No secrets. And it will be a wagon with an
industrial constitution.
FERSEN. Excuse me, Captain,--but what's that?
(RENCH laughs.)
GEORGE (smiling). Hasn't it struck you, Fersen, that unless a man has a
voice and an interest in the industry in which he works his voice, and
interest in the government for which he votes is a mockery?
(FERSEN nods.)
RENCH. We'll have to give Larz a little education.
GEORGE. Oh, I guess he'll make a good industrial citizen. But that's
part of the bargain.
RENCH. That's fair. Human nature ain't so rotten, when you give it a
chance.
GEORGE. Well, then, are you willing to try it out, on the level?
RENCH.
